Goto Links Extension

A secure, fast and private go link system for companies of all sizes.

Go links allow you to share a short, memorable link rather than a long URL. When anybody at your company uses the go link, Goto Tools's Chrome Extension directs them to the desired URL. For example https://go/kickoff can redirect to a Google Slide deck.

Go links liberates you from corporate intranets, bookmarks and corporate landing pages, just to remember how to access your HR system. Instead just type \"go/hr\" into Chrome.

GoTo Tools provides all the privacy, security and compliance features that any enterprise needs.
